JIHOON✘

Once I arrive at the destination where melody just sent me the location i get out from the taxi and pays the driver. I start to move my feet and about to ask where she is but then I suddenly can see a girl with a familiar figure leaning on the wall beside the fly café that she mentioned in the message.

The more closer i get I finally can see her school uniform clearly, I totally know which school it is.

"why are you waiting outside?" I say, and she suddenly look up from staring at her shoes and never realizes i was there.

"O-oh you are here" she stutters and stand up properly. I smiles and open the door's café to let her go in first. But she just standing there blankly makes me raise my eyebrows.

"Why aren't you get in?" I ask, still pushing the door with my tiny body for her. "H-how about we go to tteokbokki store?" She suddenly says innocently. I slowly close the door and follows her from behind who already moves her steps 5 seconds earlier than me

Im not sure what makes her suddenly changes her mind but i will just follow it from now since i am the one who need her help.

"im sorry for changing my mind" she suddenly open her mouth when I finally walks beside her "i was being considered since i saw there's a lot of people there" she added even though it's sounds like an excuse to me but i just nods "it's okay" i said in a very cool way.

The rice cake store isn't that far from the cafe, this time she opens the door for me and i get in first.

It's a very small store that feels so comfortable like home with a nice smell of spicy tteokbokki makes me realizes that I haven't smell this for some while.

"jihoon hyung?!" A very familiar voice calls my name makes me automatically looks at where it belong. There's two high schoolers who still wearing their uniforms stare at me with shock faces

"mingyu-ya seungkwan-ah what are you doing here?" I being a statue for awhile out of shock. Im not sure how to react to this either, but what im sure i got caught.

MELODY✘

When i was waiting for him inside the café alone, suddenly some people from my class enter the cafe and once i spots Haru's face makes me nervous and immediately run away before she can see me.

I didn't mean to run away from her but I don't want her to see me with jihoon. Im so sure she will just spoil everything if she find it out.

Once we arrive at the rice cake store that isn't far from the cafe i open the door for him and he enters it first and i follows from behind. Gladly there isn't much people inside, I immediately search for an available sit to take.

When i was about to sit there someone suddenly shout jihoon's name makes me look at where the voice come from. When i stare at the two guys properly and look at their uniforms they are from my school.

"Mingyu-ya seungkwan-ah what are you doing here?" Says jihoon. He seems to know both of them well, but why i feels like i ever know them before I can't remember it properly.

"We just stopping by to eat after school" the tallest guy said cheerfully while looking at jihoon who still haven't move since then. "And you hyung? Why are you here?" The guy with chubby cheeks ask curiously

"M-me? I come to eat of course" Jihoon suddenly stutters, me who just watching everything from behind silently don't know what to do and say. "Then sit here join us" says the tall guy makes jihoon finally moves his body and look at me "b-but i comes with my friend" the other two guys finally look at me who still hiding behind the small body of jihoon

"Oh?! You?" The tall guy stares at me with a shock face, when i look at his face closely I seriously feels like i know this face but why I can't remember it at all? "Seonyul! Hyung you know her?" The chubby guy ask makes me raise my eyebrows, how can he knows my name?

"Both of you know her?" Jihoon who looks like he can't believe anything just gasping. All i do just standing there blankly.

ㅡ

Four of us finally sit down while facing the same table and just staring at the tteokbokki silently.

Seungkwan and mingyu start to stare at each other while raising their eyebrows in the meaning of something.

"Hyung how did you know seonyul?" Seungkwan finally breaks the silence. Jihoon who just awkwardly sit there finally look at seungkwan "oh she works at my uncle's cafe i met her there" he said honestly.

"Seonyul-ah don't you know who are we?" Mingyu asks nicely makes me jumps a little and try to remember anything "o-oh...uhm...im sorry im not sure" i said while scratches my head slowly. I seriously not sure where i ever see these faces before.

"We are your classmates, it's our third year in the same class!" Seungkwan said meanwhile mingyu just chuckles in despair.

I gasp, totally feels so shock. How can I can't recognizes my own classmates that already being in the same class for two years!

"How can you didn't know them?" Jihoon ask, he totally looks like he can't believe it. Actually i also can't believe this myself.

But to think about it again, it's kinda make sense. When i enters the high school after my parents died i kinda changed a lot, I don't really talk with anyone except for Haru and I don't really do anything at the school. I just don't really care that much about my surroundings.

But when it comes to this, i did feels bad not to recognize them at all.

"It's okay, we understand" the tall guy said nicely makes me look at him, my heart flutters when i see his face closely. How can I never know about this handsome face before? "Anyway hyung she seriously always quiet at school not even talking with anyone and just stay at her place until the school ends" says the guy beside him without hesitates makes me realize the reality and look away.

Before that I still can slightly see mingyu who just glares at seungkwan because of what he just said brutally.

"So I think you won't remember this too that we went to the same secondary school before? We used to be close though" mingyu added i look up again and see his face who already smiling to me

Did we went to the same secondary school like seriously? Wait a minute, mingyu? Kim mingyu?! I suddenly feels like I seriously know this name well enough.

"Kim mingyu?!" I said, a smile automatically appears on my lips without I realizes "so you still remember me?!" Mingyu ask and smile excitedly, i just nods to him

"Nice to meet you again buddy" says mingyu while showing his hand for handshake without hesitates I shakes his hand and smile happily

A lot of memories suddenly comes up into my mind. We used to be seriously close before seriously a best friend I can't believe he already grows up a lot and this tall now I just can't believe my eyes at all.
